Connection, inclusion, and understanding are at the heart of what we do

Celebrating and supporting the lives and journeys of LGBTQIA+ folks for nearly 50 years

Growing together in grace and understanding

For LGBTQIA+ current and former Adventists who feel alone and have been told by your churches, schools, and families that being queer is sinful, we welcome you with open arms. This is a safe space.

The truth is, the Bible does not condemn LGBTQIA+ identities, and we believe Adventist spaces can and should treat everyone with love and respect.

Here, you’re safe to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others on similar journeys. We honor diverse viewpoints and backgrounds, providing an affirming and supportive space for all.

SDA Kinship members gathered at a table before their international event celebrating diversity and connection.

“It’s so nice to be in a community of others like me ... a place where people are accepted without being told to change or hide.”

Our Mission

Our mission is to reconcile faith and LGBTQIA+ identities, foster personal growth, and advocate for inclusivity within the Seventh-day Adventist community and society.
